The struggle between radical movements and the forces of reaction will be merciless. A crucial battlefield, where the outcome of the crisis will in part be decided, is that of theory. Over the last twenty-five years, radical intellectuals across the world have produced important and innovative ideas. The endeavour to transform the world without falling into the catastrophic traps of the past has been a common element uniting these new approaches. -- Publisher description. 0aRight and left (Political science)xHistoryy20th century. 0aRight and left (Political science)xHistoryy21st century. 0aPostmodernism. 4aDerecha e izquierda (Ciencia política) 4aIdeología 4aPosmodernismo xHistoria ySiglo XXI.1 aElliott, Gregory, d1960-etranslator
